Refreshing the browser for TFL

Herr Walther · August 11, 2001, 05:03 AM

Well guys, I don't know what the problem was I was having with refreshing the pages for TFL, but the problem has fixed itself.

I didn't change one thing on my browser settings. It just starting mysteriously working again.

After voting in a poll, it automatically takes you to the results like it did before and the new posts to a topic automatically are bumped to the top of the "View New Posts" page as before.

???????

Perhaps the software upgrade from last week?

I'm really not certain of anything but this: In the race to provide new technologies, simply because they exist, we've encountered the Law of Unintended Consequences. Who can honestly say (except for shopping) that the Internet, laptops, desktops, modem cards, USB's, PCMCIA's, palmtops, handhelds, drivers, firmware, browsers, email, viruses and the like has actually made their life easier?

For me, I have less time than I ever did.....mainly because of the time involved in maintaining and understanding all the new hardware and software that becomes a must have and keeping up with the information overload that's pushed at me from every direction.

And so it is with our discussion software: Cutting edge stuff.....PM's, Polls, Thread Merge, Thread Move, Thread Split, avatars, vBCode, CSS Styles, Subscribe to this Thread, Customize Profile, Who's Online......it's all great stuff. But it demands that everyone "step up" their software.

So who's life is really getting easier with these "advances"...mine or the Microsoft Development Team?

I can't tell you whose life is getting easier, but I'll give you just one guess as to who is getting richer.
